How can anyone take that seriously with the mascot character floating around? The pets work just like all other gachas game pets, Vyrn in Granblue also has the same role and is something that was used quite a few gachasfor 2014/15. Exactly. Vyrn being annoying on top of an already generic plot was also why I dropped Granblue. |

The normal thing in this type of stories It's a matter of comparing FFXIV ARR vs Shadowbringers https://novacrystallis.com/2020/08/one-year-later-the-story-of-final-fantasy-xiv-shadowbringers/ https://www.fanbyte.com/reviews/with-ffxiv-patch-5-3-shadowbringers-might-be-the-best-final-fantasy-story/ https://twinfinite.net/2019/07/final-fantasy-xiv-shadowbringers-best-story/ PrincessJAM said: WinterGR4 said: i completely agree with the hiding thing it makes no sense especially because she's gone on to be a solider and thats seems like that would be even more unsafe then being queenI know nothing about the game this is from... So if I am understanding the plot so far, Duke Werewolf attacked the capital and killed the King, but was defeated in his attempt to take over the capital and the kingdom. So now there is war between the Kingdom and Duke Werewolf's forces. The Princess was taken away from the capital to save her from Duke Werewolf and the fighting. So apparently the fighting in the capital is done and it should be safe for her to return. Her younger brother has become the new King. So why is she still in hiding and why is she not the Queen? I agree, it is bland. I will see how it progresses, but I don't have high hopes. Do people really want spoilers? |

Nayout said: That video belongs to the opening of the second arc of the game, the first arc never had an official opening other than some animation sequences of the PV unfortunately I've seen all the trailers before the anime was even announced, but I still look forward for what is to come. |

PrincessJAM said: i dont get why the princess went into hiding, her kingdom was still her own and to me it made no sense why she disappeared on everyone and had her younger brother rule. it would be understandable if the kingdom was taken over but it wasn't. This. I'm kinda question this. Probably will be answered for the future ep Also the maid and the mascot voice kinda annoy me. I hope they dont get a lot screentime |
 |
| Not really sure about this one but the OP by MY FIRST STORY was a banger! 3/5. |
 |
| It was okay for a first episode, waiting for more to give a better opinion about it. Marius is a woman, if you watched at least one anime you know than "he" is the princess |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Looking okay. Generic and a game adaption. But I like fantasy and politics. And with those 2 factions at war it might get interesting. The main is not too young/annoying. And the uncle is nice. (Nice voice actor.) Only the maid is a bit annoying. Feels better than King's Raid. (Only the scenes at the capital far away from the main group were better there.) Funny thing: First I thought the other guy was Fernando (and that they used the name Maurice for the female ... I mean it is an anime and the Japanese make weird naming sometimes). I usually need a bit time to get used to faces and names. Then later Alfred mistook (but that was from far away looking through the window) Maurice for his father. |
WinterGR4 said: Yes, but put it in a spoiler so if someone doesn't want to know they don't have to look. All this is the same when Caligula was on the air and people did not stop wondering why some things happened so that later they would have answers 3 episodes later. |
|
| The animation is really good, especially some of the castle interior. Music is solid, as well. Seems a bit on the generic side but I can't say I didn't enjoy this. Will have to see more for a better impression. |
| I didn't understand why the Princess was hidden away by Maurice considering that apparently the invasion was repelled and her younger brother ascended to the throne... anyway seems a good fantasy series, I liked this first episode. |
| Not sure why Marielle is now in hiding... Also not sure how MC doesn't know that is clearly a female... They literally have to dress her lol ; though maybe she will become a queen later and alfred a king *shrug* I could see it happening in this kind of series. (since it [them meeting and becoming close] brings about a new Era to the world as stated in the ending to EP1) |
| I just don't understand how they can't tell Marius is a girl. She's lived with them for years.. |
Mormegil said: I just don't understand how they can't tell Marius is a girl. She's lived with them for years.. That's the magic of anime logic. |
 |
| Meh. Another generic fantasy adapted from a game that would obviously be awful and boring, would prob drop this later on. Too much CGI! |
 |
| Feels like King's Raid all over again. And would it kill them to make the princess look the part of a boy more since she's apparently been successfully pretending to be one for years? It completely breaks immersion and caused me to facepalm every time she's on screen and I'm expected to pretend her nonexistent disguise would fool anyone. |
| ったく、嫌な世の中だよ。 |
kuwangpa said: The narration style and all these characters being introduced in one episode kinda reminds me of LoGH... CG said: Feels like King's Raid all over again. I haven't watched Legend of Galactic Heroes and I'm watching the ongoing King's Raid but i think that the story and the setting is more similar to Madan no ou to Vanadis (Lord Marksman and Vanadis). |
| Just gotta ask. Was it just me? Why was this show so awkward to watch? I can't really explain it but god damn. Kind off liked the ending though. |

| Pretty much a cliché fantasy anime. |
I picked this show after watching this video. Those eyes burning changes are damn cool. And the story seems to be quite interesting too. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
dasprn said: Those eyes burning changes are damn cool. And the story seems to be quite interesting too. Yeah I really liked MY FIRST STORY and I just happened to see a whole bunch of SEGA game openings (Soul Reverse Zero, Border Break) and this happened to show up on next. Excited for this anime despite the whole JRPG setting. |

animejas said: This episode and show had the same amount of flavor as Cheese-Whiz. So bland and bad that it made me feel sick consuming it. This was just so full of nothing for me, but then again I have never played the game so maybe its just not for me. Dropped for now, may return to it someday if I hear good things about it in future episodes. Shame that a MY FIRST STORY opening was used for this. I would just say that the word generic exists for stuff like this. |

| Ok glad to see a lot of people had the same questions as myself. -why is she in hiding when country not overthrown -why does she have to hide her identity from MC -how is she able to hide her identity -why did the Camelia principality rebel in the first place -why monster popping up like mushrooms after a nice rain Ok, people earlier said -She's in hiding for her own reasons, wants to be on frontline to get revenge for her father and left kingdom to brother...cool -I can understand just wanting to hide or identity to protect herself and to be treated like a night not a woman...fine -she was able to hide her identity easily thanks to the Magic of anime.... reasonable -I still want to know why that principality rebelled, cuz as far as I'm concerned maybe they had a good reason for it The werewolf guy was saying something about dishonor and being betrayed by his king..... So I can't feel bad about the king dying until I know The reason they rebelled, maybe the king's a dick and deserved it......ugh -also don't know about the monsters popping up didn't really get much into that but it looked like some scroll thingy glowed so whatever magic.....hmmmm If you have any spoilers put them below or answers to some of my questions.... Much appreciated |
 |
| Really intense start but a good start so far. R.I.P King and Fernando. |
 |
| Why are people assuming that the MC doesn't know? At no time has he said that he does not know and calling her a boy can be for a thousand reasons. For the rest, it seems that the story will be more connected with the "Remake" of the game than its original version, I'm watching the PV and they are using scenes from the anime |

Hegar said: Why do you even bother? Why waste energy on making sure other people will know you don't like the show? because it's meant for discussions? why bother going to a thread only full of people that liked the show to spend energy just to make sure they know that you also liked the show? kind of interested in a fantasy story that doesn't seem to be as big on magic existing. nonnoria and moru thing were kind of off-putting but I'll deal with it. |

Of course you'd reply that. Hey, the forum says to discuss, so this is discussion! No one can argue against that, right? You know you could just check out an anime, and if you don't like it, move on. I do that all the time. That's the normal thing to do. But no! Gotta look it up in the forum and spit on it after seeing that first episode. When you do that you contribute to a cynical mood, where everything is attacked. Typical for kids growing up with the internet. It's no wonder studies show social media make people feel worse. This forum is included in that. Always people who go looking for things to attack. I know you don't understand a thing of this. You've grown up with it, you think it's normal. That cynicism inside is the normal state for you. that's quite a cynical stance for you to take. |
| I enjoyed the first episode and liked how they set up the story. There is an ALC (Annoying Little Creature) but hopefully it won't be in too much of the story. The maid is a character whose name I won't be remembering as I am going to refer to her as 'Squeaky' because her voice sounds like a door hinge that's desperately in need of oil. I do like the fact that the weapons are of reasonable size and the heroes are not swinging sharpened I-beams at one another. The fighting looks good thus far and I like how the characters and plot are being laid down. I do hope to see more of Adelheid in future episodes because ever since I watched Moribito oh-so many years ago I have had a strong liking for female spear wielders. Looking forward to episode two! |
| The sword that takes life gives life |
| Damn, Takehito Koyasu and Tsuda Kenjiro in the same anime. That's awesome, shame that Fernando died early. That was actually not bad, I mean as long as a show has decent plot and good flow, it will be enjoyable. It's your classic fantasy story. Though it's kinda hard to believe that they haven't realized Marius is a girl. Well, doesn't really bother me that much, gotta have some suspension of disbelief. |

Hegar said: Aww, kiddie learned the word cynical so now he has to use it. LOL You didn't have any comeback other than that. Of course you can't just learn something about common decency and move on, no, gotta get the last word! Look, someone wrote about how people shouldn't act like bitches in forum, of course you have to take that personal! Typical little kid. Maybe you'll learn when you're older what I'm talking about. dude, get over yourself. it's not cynical for me to think that if people care enough about a show they saw that they should be welcome to share their opinions on it regardless of whether that opinion is positive or not. just because you "do it all the time" you expect everyone else to do the same? everyone should just keep unfavorable opinions to themselves because you don't want to have to see it? shall we all just leave every show with praises and have the only ones giving ratings be the those that think it's 8+. you're so smart though so you must know that using the "gotta get the last word" card just makes you a hypocrite, yeah? of course you can't just let people have their opinions, you have to waste energy complaining about the people complaining. why are you taking it personally that some other people don't like a show that you do? maybe instead of demanding other people to stop doing things you don't like you could try taking some personal responsibility to just ignore them and, ya know, move on. |
| *spots a Bangs Girl in the character montage near the end* Alright, I'm in. *imagines the blue magi-cat swiping at her mouse friend* |
 |
| I didn't know it was based off or originated from a game, it's completely new to me but I really enjoyed episode 1. A lot more than I figured I would, I just assumed it would be some generic medieval series like many others, and it might still be generic and simple but it was at least entertaining. Though I was a little confused about certain details, overall I'm actually a little excited to continue with this. |
 |
| I come here with an open minded. But, hell, guess i just watch too many show this season which feel that these show was so bland. Too average as a fantasy story. I just hope this show didn't have a demon lord and its dark demon races, or damn, this one really dull to its storyline. Too wide and generic as a kingdom medieval story. The betrayal. The death of the king. They even didn't do a proper background story of how that shit can be even begin with. In general, i don't even find any uniqueness over this show, unless, that princess in disguised really surprised me, a bit. How the hell that Young Lord Alfred kept saying his squire as a boy? Were there even peoples told the truth, or am i missing something here? Guess i just put this one below my priority for not taking this series too seriously like the others. So sorry for that. |

What a hilarious rambling post. "taking it personally," idiotic. I post something and YOU are the one who talk to ME. Now you pretend that it'd be the other way around. You're not a very good liar. Not when how it really happened is visible to anyone in the thread. "take it personally" LOL That's exactly what YOU are doing, are you seriously incapable of seeing that? Apparently yes. And then you can't stop whining about it, gotta have the last word! Turning it completely around because you can't see your own behavior. Typical of a spoiled kid who thinks it can't do anything wrong. yes, you posted something I disagreed with so I replied to you. you disagreed with me and replied back. as we both keep doing. you say I'm the one taking it personally, yet you keep resorting to hurling insults. I didn't even say me talking to you is what you were taking personally. it should be "visible to anyone in the thread" such as yourself, yes? the post I first replied to was you complaining about people complaining, which I already said. but sure, just dismiss it as "rambling" if you have no real defense. you say I'm the one that has to have the last word, yet you still come back to reply even twelve days later, still unable to move on with your life. saying I'm "turning it around" when that's all you're doing now. that's all you can do, much like your fixation on my age and calling me a kid. projecting your own insecurities onto others so much isn't healthy, you know. |
| This is exciting! I'm keeping this on my watchlist this season. Also, if the ED is anything to go by, I ship Marius and Alfred now. |
| I want to sleep... |
